Sadie's 9th Birthday

Sadie celebrated Canada Day with our next door neighbors,

since they are Canadians too.  

Myriam and Sadie had a sticker on their face that said,

"Made in Canada."

We decided to focus birthday presents on developing talents.

Grandma and Grandpa bought Sadie a tennis racket and balls.

We borrowed a violin for her 

so she can be in the 4th grade orchestra next year.

We went to Lagoon on her birthday,

her aunt's stake Lagoon day happened to land on her birthday.

Grandma GG

Donny's 93 year old grandmother moved in with us in June.

She is a delight to have around.  

She loves to sit on our front and back porch-

She loves the Utah air.

Grandma loves the children.  

They call her "GG" since she is their great grandma.

She loves to sit by the piano and hear them practice.

Here she is kneeling down to calm Holland while
I am busy cooking dinner. 
(It was very difficult for her to get back up)

 When we are gone, she misses hearing the children.
She loves to listen to them play.
